Viral Snake Video: A snake charmer’s ‘act’ ended up in a nightmare after his ‘pet’ Cobra bit him in the hand out of the blue. A video of the horrifying incident was shared online, which went viral on the internet. In the video, the man who seemed elderly, was interacting with the crowd, while the deadly snake was hanging around his neck. However, the show came to a standstill after the same reptile bit the man's hand, surprising the crowd and the snake charmer. Rushing into action, the man began to free his bitten hand from the reptile’s grip, which was evidently a struggle in itself. Next, the man did something that left people confused- he tied his arm with a band to stop the blood’s flow, after which the elderly began to make cuts in the entire arm.

The video of the same left people divided. Some tried to explain the ‘logic’ behind the whole technique, while the rest argued that the charmer made the situation ‘worse’ by not  rushing to a hospital. The date and location of the incident could not be confirmed. 

The video was shared on the social media platform Instagram, by the handle ‘al_raaaaahi’.

Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. Should have gone to hospital instead of doing that unnecessary cuts,” a user said. “Judging aside does puncturing his vessels work?” asked a second person. “After a snake bite, a person's blood thickens and quickly wears out a valve on the heart,” said a third user. 

“The poison is already in the veins and this procedure will only accelerate the poisoning process further when it removes this line,” commented another. “Ouch. What a pity. It went wrong. Wonder what happened to the man bitten,” said a fifth person. 

“So this is the witch doctor his treatment is worse than the bite of a snake,” joined a sixth person. “Making deep cuts with a Gillette above the veins so the venom comes out along with the blood!” added another. “Should have not to mess with the snake,” said the next.
